Hosting Bot

[Zhall]

How do I get a hold of a hosting bot that I could run off of my computer?

Preferably one that doesn't eat my keys and sell them.. lawl

Does it have votestart?

Should I just set autostart to half the capacity of the map? Or maybe that would make it so you would never get a fh...

Can I run the server on my computer and play on the same machine?
I'm sure it would be less lag to have it hosted on another computer anyway, so I'll probably end up doing that.

I'm actually kind of excited that it can save replays, then I can cast them.

I intend to use this to promote my new map

Although, I might want to try and get a Sc2 version of it out first, seeing as how MineralZ got back ported, and I doubt it was by the same person.

...and eventually use the player base to drive traffic to an android/iphone app of the game. Lol.

Yes, it is highly portable.

Thanks

It might be more worth while focusing all your effort on a SC2 version. Few people are still playing WC3 so any such version is likely to be underappreciated. I was waiting in a popular map (SWAT Aftermath) for >15 minutes and only 3 players joined (this map used to have 4 full house sessions active all the time).

East or west?

It was a host robot so it is on all of them. VPNs included I think (not sure).

You need a bot to download, correct?

I was able to get it to login, changed game version to 26.

But it won't load my .mpq or .cfg of the map?

It's just a bunch of [MAP] invalid map_path and such

How do i fix this?

I made a .cfg for it.

EDIT: Now it's working, but theres no local copy for people to download?

You can try this bot:

Its a fork of Ghost++, optimized for performance.
